Wedding Forum - What traditions are you keeping?...

We're having the old new borrowed blue & not seeing him night before then think that's it. Not doing bouquet or garter toss..theyre mine thank u very much!! Not sure what else tbh! Xx

We're doing night apart, cake cutting, first dance but nothing else.

Whys that?

im gunna try n stick 2 it like im kicking him out the night b4 lol x

You could easily guide HIS hands to cut the cake instead?

Plus according to this explanation about the tradition of cake cutting:

The traditional cake cutting ceremony is symbolically the first task that the bride and groom perform jointly as husband and wife. After the cake cutting ceremony, the couple proceed to feed one another from the first slice. This evocative symbolism, displays the mutual commitment of bride and groom to provide for one another; a tradition that most of us have witnessed many times. The first piece of wedding cake is cut by the bride with the "help" of the groom. This duty was originally performed exclusively by the bride, who cut the wedding cake for sharing with her guests. Distributing pieces of wedding cake to one's guests dates from the Roman tradition, when guests clamoured for the crumbs. Wedding cake cutting became more difficult as the multi-tiered cakes used hard ‘Royal’ icing. Henceforth, cutting the wedding cake became a joint project.

I think you may have the wrong idea about it?

Your choice either way though lol

im having something old, new borrowed blue, sixpence in my shoe. first dance, night apart, might get a 2nd bouquet smaller version of mine for bouquet toss but not sure yet

i am having the old new borrowed blue. im staying at my mothers the night before and wont see oh until im walking down the isle, my dad is giving me away, were having the traditional church with all the traditional flowers, we havent got traditional transport tho oh had choice of transport and he went for something a bit more mod lol. were having the traditional reception infact everything is traditonal really aprart from the transport and the fact that me and oh already have a child and are living together so thats not traditional lol x

Old new borrowed blue, cake cutting, sugar almonds favours. I really want to do the Cypriot tradition of pinning money to the brides wedding gown during the dancing but think people might think we're greedy buggers!

I'm wearing my veil over my face which is a tradition that I think (from on here) most people opt out of. I'm not throwing the bouquet either but other than that think I'm fairly traditional.

I didn't know about the reason for the cake cutting :)

we are spending the night apart, doing the old blue borrowed etc. Think im going to do the bouquet toss but with my bm flowers.
Doing the cake cutting.

Think thats about it :)

I think I'll probably just giver her my bouquet anyway, she's so excited for this wedding I think she'll explode by next year!
